Talent is a lie
Talento é uma mentira

Or, to be accurate, the common conception of what “talent” is: An effortless innate, magical skill that grants the wielder an otherwise intangible ability. This is my life scarring sight holidays gift for you: Same character, 8 years apart.

Your favourite artist is hardly “talented”; at some point of their lives what was their very best simply wasn’t enough. Their very best today will look equally cringeful to them in a couple of years. It didn’t came easy to him or her. This artist probably didn’t have better opportunities than you. What they had was an earlier start and an unwavering determination.

Get up and work hard today. It’s okay if you don’t have your dream job yet. Even if you have to work on/study something else for now think of it as being your own patron, because that’s what it is. Every tiny step counts, in time they’ll take you a long way, and this is the beauty of painting: It’s not something dependable on a diploma stating that you’re able to do something, nor it’s an innate ability, it’s an achievable skill that depends only on your efforts. Believe! You’ll get there.
